Following the month of luck I asked the TRP authors to tell me their luckiest day/moment and here is what Carol McKibben said, take a look!  It was my lucky day when Troll River Publications decided to publish Luke’s Tale. I had been banging my head against the wall with literary agents who loved it but hesitated to take it on. Go figure. And then I gave it to Stephanie for an honest critique. “What’s wrong with it? Is it unbelievable to folks that a dog can teach us about unconditional love?” I questioned myself out loud with her. I knew that Stephanie (full disclosure – she’s my daughter - but she’s my toughest critic.) was looking for something special to publish … something in which she truly believed. I didn’t dream that it would be my book. I just value her opinion and wanted complete honesty. I waited for her verdict. I think I held my breath for days! When she came into my office, I prepared myself for the worst. Her words? “I love it! I want to publish it!” Cue the happy dance! That was the beginning of my real writing career. I had written a memoir, Riding Through It, but it is a “throw-away” book. Something I just wrote for me – memories that needed to be dispelled. After Luke’s Tale and more than 91 reviews , averaging 4.7 out of 5 stars, Stephanie and I came up with a series idea. We named it Snow Blood, and I’m working on the third in the series, after having a great time with Season 1 and Season 2. So, I’d say that finding someone to believe in my creativity turned out to be my lucky day! Carol Mckibben - Author, Troll  Carol McKibben was a magazine publisher for 20+ years. She has published Luke’s Tale, Riding Through It and the Snow Blood Vampire Mystery Thriller Series. Luke’s Tale and Snow Blood are targeted to a YA market. Luke’s Tale was included in the Summer Solstice Top 12 Book Pick List. Carol writes from the heart of a dog’s eyes. Her books help support her dog rescue efforts and focus on unconditional love. Carol, her labradoodle Neo, lab Thor and Siberian Husky Ty are currently working on new adventures. Go to http://www.carolmckibben.com or email [email protected].

When a woman who loves too deeply meets a man who doesn’t love at all, something's got to give.
32 year old photographer, Jillian Ingram, fills the emptiness in her life with single-minded commitment to work. After the death of her dominant husband, she avoids all reminders of her past and denies her yearning to submit to another man…but when masterful Nick Colton promises to fulfill three of her deepest fantasies, it’s a temptation she can’t refuse. He’s the perfect Dom – hardcore, generous, and temporary. His offer of a weekend affair suits her perfectly, because for a long-term relationship, Jillian needs the one thing that Nick can’t give…love. 37 year old Nick Colton doesn’t want romance. Burned by a recent divorce, all he requires now is a night or a weekend with a woman who likes cuffs, clamps, and hard sex. No talk of long-term relationships and especially love. He’s given up finding that one special submissive who’s strong enough to surrender to his control—until he meets Jillian, the woman of his hottest fantasies. But Jillian’s commitment to her career is as strong as Nick’s aversion to relationships, and when their weekend ends, they must each decide if a commitment to temporary should be a commitment to forever. Hi Readers! Stone Wear, the second book of the Hot Alpha Billionaire Series, will be released March, 2016. This story features Nick Colton, who had a brief supporting role in Hard Wear. Nick is a little rough around the edges and a more hardcore than Chase, but like Chase, Nick is protective, generous, and determined. Be advised there are M/f/M ménage scenes in Stone Wear, plus crops, clamps, and toys, etc., as the story revolves around a ‘sexual wish list.’ Nick and Jillian’s road to love is a little hard at times. You may need to buckle your cuffs. ♥ ~ Marilyn 
ilyn lives in the northwest U.S., not too far from the Canadian border, and believes the long, cold winters are perfect writing weather. She loves reading and writing books; walks in the country with her hubby and their rescued dog; and watching movies—especially romance, adventure, and sci-fi.
Her erotic romances range in heat levels from sweet to hardcore, sometimes include ménage, and usually have themes of dominance and submission. The road to love is a little rough at times, but always leads to a happy ending. ♥ She started penning sexy stories several years ago and admits she’s obsessed with creating protective, alpha heroes and happily-ever-after endings. Her erotic romances range in heat levels from sweet to hardcore and usually have themes of dominance and submission. Visit Marilyn at www.marilynlakewood.com Continuing the luck theme this month, I asked the TRP authors what their lucky day was. Author Elizabeth SaFleur answered my question below, take a look! I have always felt “lucky” – meaning the Universe has provided many opportunities. I will summarize these many opportunities and instances I have felt lucky into: My luckiest event: Meeting Marilyn Lakewood on the ERWA site. My luckiest writing moment – Marilyn is the one who kept me going when I really needed it, introduced me to PAK, and then ultimately Stephanie. I also consider the year 2002 my luckiest year – where everything just fell into place. I found a dream home to rent in downtown Charlottesville where I could walk to everything (Long-time residents told me finding a home to rent downtown was ‘impossible’). I also met my husband that year (Long - time, resident single people told the dating pool was "slim pickin's") My PR practice ‘exploded’ with work (even during the mini-recession that year), and I was at my ideal weight, effortlessly. In fact, everything that year was ‘effortless’. Oh, man, how I’m nostalgic. Ha! XO, E.
